This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Yeah
No more I'm taking this hatred from you
You make me feel dead when I'm talking to you
You take me for granted when I'm not around
So burn all your bridges
'Cause I'm not going down (down)
This time I will be heard
I'm not gonna burn
It's funny how the table, how the table turns
You fake (fake) your damnation
You pray (pray) for salvation
'Cause your heart is made of stone
You can die and rot alone
I hope you're unhappy and hurting inside
I want you to choke when you swallow your pride
Laying in your coffin asleep with your sins
Give me the nails and I'll hammer them in
Right now
This time you won't be heard
You are gonna burn
It's funny how the table, how the table turns
You fake (fake) your damnation
You pray (pray) for salvation
'Cause your heart is made of stone
You can die and rot alone
You fake (fake) your damnation
You pray (pray) for salvation
'Cause your heart is made of stone
You can die and rot alone
This time you won't be heard
You are gonna burn
It's funny how the table, how the table turns
You fake (fake) your damnation
You pray (pray) for salvation
'Cause your heart is made of stone
You can die and rot alone
You fake (fake) your damnation
You pray (pray) for salvation
'Cause your heart is made of stone
You can die and rot alone
You can die and rot alone
Just die and rot alone
This time you won't be heard
(This time you won't be heard)
This time you won't be heard
No more I'm taking this hatred from you
You make me feel dead when I'm talking to you
You take me for granted when I'm not around
So burn all your bridges
'Cause I'm not going down (down)
This time I will be heard
I'm not gonna burn
It's funny how the table, how the table turns
You fake (fake) your damnation
You pray (pray) for salvation
'Cause your heart is made of stone
You can die and rot alone
I hope you're unhappy and hurting inside
I want you to choke when you swallow your pride
Laying in your coffin asleep with your sins
Give me the nails and I'll hammer them in
Right now
This time you won't be heard
You are gonna burn
It's funny how the table, how the table turns
You fake (fake) your damnation
You pray (pray) for salvation
'Cause your heart is made of stone
You can die and rot alone
You fake (fake) your damnation
You pray (pray) for salvation
'Cause your heart is made of stone
You can die and rot alone
This time you won't be heard
You are gonna burn
It's funny how the table, how the table turns

You can die and rot alone
Just die and rot alone

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
This song is about my ex-girlfriend.
I agree, after doing all that you can do to right things and fix their problems. Theres a point where you just have to say fuck it and move on. Let them die and rot alone
i might be wrong but i think its... you can die and rot alone
Yea it is "rot alone".
I believe, "Rise" is supposed to be "Rot" and "table turned" is supposed to be "table turns". Otherwise I think they are pretty accurate.
This song to me is about hatred for something someone has done to you. Maybe not to so much wish that they "Die and rot alone", just that that is the way that that person made you feel during the bad times in their relationship.
hmm, this sounds like revenge without the bloddy axe, ?? or a fuck you, go die?
Rot makes more sense, but I seem to hear an 's' sound at the end of the line. So i'm not sure.
An "S" sound and a "T" sound can sound similar.
True Lyrics This song is easily my fave song by Bullet. Such a great song.
No more I'm taking this hatred from from you You make me feel dead when I'm talking to you You'll take me for granted when I'm not around So burn all your bridges cause I'm not going down
This time I will be heard, I'm not gonna burn It's funny how the table, how the table turns
You fake your damnation You pray for salvation Cause your heart is made of stone, you can die and rot alone
I hope you're unhappy and hurting inside I want you to choke when you swallow your pride Lay in your coffin asleep with your sins Give me the nails and I'll hammer them in right now
This time you won't be heard, you are gonna burn It's funny how the table, how the table turns
You fake your damnation You pray for salvation Cause your heart is made of stone, you can die and rot alone
You fake your damnation You pray for salvation Cause your heart is made of stone, you can die and rot alone
This time you won't be heard, you are gonna burn It's funny how the table, how the table turns
You fake your damnation You pray for salvation Cause your heart is made of stone, you can die and rot alone
You fake your damnation You pray for salvation Cause your heart is made of stone, you can die and rot alone (Whoa) you can die and rot alone (Whoa)
Just die and rot alone.

Guitar Solo
I think this song's meaning is completely clear. It reminds me of what somebody I know is going through, very much so. Probably my favorite song off their new album. It's a great song that rhymes a lot, and that keeps it with a good beat. :3
P.S: Off the Album's booklet lyrics, it's "You fake your damnation." not "You face your damnation." and "I hope you're happy and hurting inside" should be "I hope you're unhappy and hurting inside."
It sounds like its about people undergoing minority problems, and authority is wanting to put them down, but however they feel that they wont go without a fight and if it means that they die, at least they die with "Dignity"
wrong song dude :)
wow, I totally clicked the wrong song omg... yeah this pretty much means they want revenge... i feel like a dumbass now...
